Where does it come from?
Lauroyl Lysine is derived from natural sources. Lauric acid is typically sourced from coconut or palm kernel oil, while lysine is an amino acid that can be obtained from various plant or animal proteins. Through a process of esterification, lauric acid is bonded with lysine to create Lauroyl Lysine, a compound valued for its functional benefits in skincare and cosmetics.
